EPM 11.1.2.1 Installation Issues....
user623259
Member Posts: 67
Hi Gurus,
I'm new to Version 11 and I am trying to install EPM 11.1.2.1 on my Laptop partition with Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition (64 bit). Laptop has 8 GM RAM.
After installing the OS, I enabled IIS and ASP .NET.
Installed Microsoft Loop Back Adapter.
Installed Oracle 11g Release 2 client (32 bit).
Installed Oracle 11g Release 2 database (Standard Edition) (64 bit) and created schemas required for EPM (one for shared services, one for EPMA Interface, one for Planning Application).
Unzipped the files and installed the components (Foundation, Essbase, Planning, EPMA, Performance Scorecard) - I would like to install HFM but not sure if the memory would be enough so left it for now.
After installation, Configured the products one by one and faced some of the issues listed below.
1. Configuration tool didn't understand when I give my computer name as the host, displaying issue related to network. It accepts only if I enter it as localhost.
2. When I tried to configure PM Architect, it gave me a message saying ODAC is not installed. But I already installed ODAC. I can see ODP.Net entries in the registry.
Isn't this part of the Oracle database installation I did? If not, I installed it separately downloading the XCOPY vesion of ODAC 11g from Oracle website. Is this the right one?
3. Is there a sequence for configuring the components? After I configured all the components, when I get back to the first screen, it shows some of the components that I already
configured as not configured.
4. Is there a simple installation instruction for a minimal deployment on a laptop?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I run the diagnostics tool after install/configuration. I get the error message below for some components.
ssbase / Essbase Administration Services
PASSED CFG: Configuration Validating that configuration tasks have been completed 0 seconds

I hope this helps in understanding my issue.

Configuration tool didn't understand when I give my computer name as the host, displaying issue related to network. It accepts only if I enter it as localhost.
you can try adding ip/machine name in the hosts file.See if that makes any difference -
you need, Install ODAC, in Oracle Database Client by Custom option....and select the ODAC.

Thanks.
Currenly I have installed Oracle 11g 32 bit client first.
And then the Oracle 11g 64 bit database.
Should I install 64 bit client with ODAC also? or Does the Oracle 11g 64 bit database and software installation include the client and ODAC?
Will there be any conflict and issues if I install Oracle 11g 64 bit client in addition to the above?
Should I install it in separate Oracle Base directories?
When I do a custom install I don't see anything called ODAC but I assume it is "Oracle Providers for .NET". -
Hi Manoj,
I've added the host name and IP address to the hosts file but still same issue.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the Loop Back adapter.
I'm on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. After I install Loop Back adapter and set a static IP for it,
it shows as "Public" "unidentified network". In the properties, it shows "No Network Access" for both IPV4 and IPV6.
When I run the "Ping <hostname?" command in DOS prompt, it is successful but only shows the hexadecimal physicall address and not the IP address for IPV4.
Is this ok? -
Is this similar to what you've done in order to setup your loopback adaptor?

Manoj,
Yes. I configured Loop Back adapter as described in the link you provided. These steps are given in Oracle database installation document also.
The only thing I did not do on those steps is that my computer is in a work group and not a domain. -

Why is EPM System Configurator having issues withresolving some hostnames, such as:"server-1.domain_s9"?
Look at the following url

Thanks Manjoj. I fixed the host name resolution issue. I think the hosts file entry was not right.
Also fixed the ODAC issue. I installated Oracle DB and clients in the following order.
Oracle 11g Database
Oracle 11g 32 bit client (custom install and choose Oracle Drivers for ASP.NET)
Oracle 11g 64 bit client (custom install and choose Oracle Drivers for ASP.NET)
Alll the products configured correctly. But a new issue now. When I start the EPM System using the option
available in the Program Files menu, all the services start but "Hyperion EPMA Server" is not starting.
I tried starting all the services manually as specified in the documentation too. Same issue.
When I start it from Windows control panel, I get a message like "The services started but stopped. Some services may stop if there are no
programs or other services using it".
I checked the Installation and configuration trouble shooting document where this issue is mentioned. I checked the BPMA_Server_Config.xml File
and the time our parameter is set to 600 seconds. I guess this should be more than enough for a POC installation.
The Diagnostic report shows the following for EPMA section.

I had this problem too, and got it after similar ODAC issues as that you've mentioned. The way I got it to finally work was to re-config all EPMA components, and then run the configure web server as a second pass. Have you tried this?
